I just skimmed over your last posts enough to agree with SC about the chasing your tails.
IMO (and I am sure in hindsight U probably see it now) that response to his EM should NEVER have been sent by you. It was very deconstructive. By all means have the feelings (ha ha ...cuz we can't stop ourselves from that) but sometimes the best option when it comes to effective communication is to stay in "listening" mode (80 % of communication from what I am told) and thereby leave a bunch of those thoughts (sometimes poisonous one's) unsaid.
That's enough 2X4 ...you probably agree ..lol.
On the whole you are doing great. Much of that is due to sheer persistence and dedication to your goal. Something that I wish a lot more people had when it comes to M :(.
Stay firmly attached to our Almighty God and to those DB principles. Bring glory to His name ..now and always
